My secret pal from last year from the guild took me out for lunch yesterday with Amy Walsh of Blue Underground fame and she gave me 5 patterns. I can't wait to try them, but I have so many to try, there is not enough life left in me to do them all.

I think it goes along with the "fabric stash". What am I going to do with all my fabric if i don't have a "pattern stash" as well?

Patterns, Oh my God!!! When I moved into my house five years ago I had to clean out my sewing room to move it. I found a bag of patterns purchased at Joann's when they had a sale for 99 cent Simplicity patterns that I had forgotten about. TEN patterns in the bag with the receipt dated two years before!!

Hi there. I too have patterns ,books,print-offs. I look for pattern and forget about all the other patterns I have previously bookmarked.
I will just have to carry on until all is exhausted.
Is there a fairy dust available?

This seems to be my mantra - I love the designs and the 'maybe someday' syndrome really haunts me!! :?

Talking about new patterns. I have to have lots of patterns because with out them I would never be able to pick out a favorite for my next project.

By the way I love your avatar, do you have that pattern and could you share. I have 3 quilts to make for grandsons. I would not use white but I like the simplicity of the pattern. If you read this please PM me with your answer. Gail
